  • the setting of the high bulk density is made once by the rolling compression of the charged powdery raw materials to others also by powdering and by the possible density Bulking of the almost spherical granules seen macroscopically.
  • the existence of finely divided granules usually leads to this a further increase in bulk density.
  • the granules can then be dried, for example be dried in a fluidized bed, or left harden by cooling. There is drying in the fluidized bed also possible when using peroxy bleach. Keep the granules even when drying in the fluidized bed its seen macroscopically almost spherical structure because of the complete powdering of the Granules no further granulation can take place.
  • % aqueous C 9 -C 13 alkylbenzenesulfonate solution mixed in a continuously operating mixer (Schugi) and then with a high energy input in a CB mixer from Lödige with the addition of 4.8 parts by weight of a C 12 -C 18 fatty alcohol with 5 ethylene oxide groups.
  • the throughput was 1 t / h.
  • the bulk density of the granules after drying was 785 g / l. If the roll granulation was broken off according to the invention with about 2% by weight, based on the finished granulate, of zeolite powder, the bulk density of the dried granules was 860 g / l.
  • Example 2 All of the ingredients mentioned in Example 1, being spray-dried Granules are used with a composition according to Example 2 were in a Lödige ploughshare mixer with a Throughput of approx. 2 t / h mixed and then discontinuously in another Lödige mixer FK with an extension of the dwell time granulated.
  • the bulk density of the non-powdered granules from 476 g / l to 690 g / l; stopping the roll granulation powdering with 2% by weight of zeolite caused an increase in bulk density of the undried granules to 818 g / l.
  • the rolled granules dried in a fluidized bed were mixed with bleach activator granules and enzyme granules, introduction of perfume and final powdering with a mixture of zeolite powder and fine particles Silicic acid and / or with a powdered silicone defoamer processed.
  • the granules obtained according to Examples 1 to 4 had almost monodisperse internal granulate structure and a surface as in the Figures 3 and 4 is given.

Claims (4)

  1. Procédé de fabrication d'un détergent et nettoyant ou d'un composant pour celui-ci, dont les granules présentent une morphologie déterminée avec une surface quasiment sphérique (à l'oeil nu) et lisse (au microscope), ainsi qu'une structure interne quasiment monodispersée et un diamètre quelconque, car prédéterminable, caractérisé en ce que dans une première étape du procédé, les matières de départ pulvérulentes sont présentées dans un mélangeur et éventuellement mélangées avec les constituants liquides, le mélange est compacté par l'apport d'énergie dans une deuxième étape du procédé dans un deuxième mélangeur et les granules obtenus sont roulés les uns contre les autres afin de les compacter, ce qui leur confère une surface lisse (au microscope) et une structure interne quasiment monodispersée, et la granulation par roulage est arrêtée par l'adjonction d'une poudre à fines particules, après que l'on ait laissé les granules croítre jusqu'à un maximum prédéfini de distribution granulométrique.
  2. Procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que la poudre à fines particules est ajoutée pour interrompre la granulation par roulage en proportions pouvant atteindre 10 % en poids, de préférence en proportions comprises entre 0,5 et 0,8 % en poids et en particulier, en proportions de 1 à 5 % en poids.
  3. Procédé selon la revendication 1 ou 2, caractérisé en ce que les granules sont séchés.
  4. Procédé selon une des revendications 1 à 3, caractérisé en ce que l'on ajoute comme constituants liquides dans la première étape du procédé, des tensioactifs non ioniques liquides, de préférence des alcools gras éthoxylés en C12-C18 et/ou de l'eau ou des solutions aqueuses, ou des mélanges, dans des proportions telles que l'on obtienne dans la seconde étape du procédé des granules roulables, mais non collants.
